Let's break down a workflow

  1. Start by writing down what YOU do right now.
  2. Consult LLMs when not sure where or which AI to apply.
  3. Break blocks into small steps.
  4. Start with human in the loop and automate from there.
  5. Don't force AI where it's not crucial.
  6. Identify the skills and integration your agent will need before you start working.
